Hmmm, as
we start watching, this seems to be a collection of short films, not at all
connected to the DVD cover which shows a kind of apocalyptic future city. Well.
Here they are:

Michael
Sheen is a nerdy scientist working in a sperm bank, unrequitedly in love with a
doctor in the fertility clinic. Creepy

An
American Jewish family is having dinner. Nerdy genius son has invented a time
machine and they keep repeating the dinner as he tries to get rid of the Nazis.
Sci fi, absurd, amusing.

Custody
conflict. Mark Strong has his two kids on an outing to the sea before their
mother moves with them to the US. Tragic ending.

Andrew
Garfield is Tom, wandering in the Texas desert. He’s a geology student. He
encounters a strange young boy who, it turns out, is a ghost. Tom, it turns
out, is a ghost too.

Kirsten
Dunst is half of a newlywed couple who wake up hungry so decide, in order to
break an old curse caused by husband’s previous crime, to rob a bakery. No
bakery is found so they rob a hamburger joint.

A man
rescues fragile people. When a new one shows up, the previous ones are jealous.

This is
so not at all what we had planned on seeing this evening. For the same reason
I’m not keen on short stories, I’m not a great fan of short films, but these
are very well done with good acting and strong stories throughout.
